Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention provides a finite element modeling and analysis method for sacrococcygeal soft tissue stress, and relates to the technical field of sacrococcygeal soft tissue stress. Background Art
[0002] The sacrum and coccyx are a high-incidence area of human soft tissue damage, and the study of their mechanical properties has important clinical value and practical significance. For patients who are bedridden for a long time, the sacrum and coccyx are under continuous pressure. People who sit for a long time are also at risk of chronic soft tissue injury because the sacrum and coccyx are in a non-physiological stress state for a long time. In orthopedic clinical scenarios, the mechanical environment of soft tissue changes significantly after sacral fractures, tumor resections, and orthopedic surgical interventions. Accurate force reconstruction is required to assess healing risks and guide the formulation of rehabilitation plans. However, traditional empirical evaluation methods have difficulty quantifying the pressure-deformation relationship of soft tissue under complex loads and cannot meet the needs of personalized medical care. Therefore, there is an urgent need to use finite element analysis technology to reveal its inherent mechanical mechanism.
[0003] In the early days of the development of finite element analysis technology, sacral soft tissue modeling mostly used simplified geometric models, that is, abstracting complex anatomical structures into regular shapes. Although this simplified method can reduce computational complexity, it seriously deviates from the true anatomical morphology, resulting in a large deviation between the pressure distribution simulation results and the actual situation, and cannot accurately reflect the mechanical response of soft tissue in different postures and support conditions. In addition, traditional solid finite element models face the problems of a large number of grids and low computational efficiency. A single simulation often takes hours or even longer, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of rapid clinical evaluation and parameter optimization. At the same time, traditional models have deficiencies in the characterization of material properties and cannot effectively describe complex mechanical properties such as the hyperelasticity of soft tissue and the anisotropy of muscle tissue, which limits the accuracy of the model's simulation of actual mechanical behavior.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0050] The stress analysis of sacrococcygeal soft tissue is of great significance in clinical medicine and biomechanical research. Accurate modeling methods can provide a key basis for auxiliary diagnosis of sacrococcygeal diseases.
[0051] Example 1
[0052] The present invention proposes a finite element modeling and analysis method for the stress of sacrococcygeal soft tissue. Figure 1 The specific steps are as follows:
[0053] S1. Collect three-dimensional image data of normal sacrococcygeal soft tissue and extract the contour of sacrococcygeal soft tissue.
[0054] CT scans are used to obtain 3D imaging data of the sacral soft tissue. Image segmentation techniques are used to accurately extract soft tissue contours and separate different tissue layers, such as skin, muscle, and fat. Noise reduction and smoothing are performed on the segmented images to provide high-precision geometric data for subsequent modeling.
[0055] S2. Construct a three-dimensional surface dynamic model based on the extracted soft tissue contours.
[0056] S21. Based on the extracted soft tissue contour, a meshing method is used to generate a three-dimensional surface mesh.
[0057] In this embodiment, a triangular patch meshing method is used to generate a three-dimensional surface mesh, such as Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2, triangular facets are the basic unit for constructing soft tissue surface models. They can split complex tissue shapes into a large number of triangular faces to facilitate mathematical modeling and mechanical calculations.
[0058] The triangular patch meshing method ensures that the circumscribed circle of any triangular patch does not contain any vertices other than the three vertices of the triangular patch, and the mesh vertices evenly cover the surface contour.
[0059] The vertex coordinate set output after triangular mesh subdivision and triangle face index set ; Where N is the total number of vertices, t is the vertex number, M is the total number of triangles, k is the triangle number, and i, j, and m are the three vertices of the kth triangle.
[0060] S22. Build a structural sub-model, a bending sub-model, and a dissipative sub-model between adjacent vertices of the three-dimensional surface mesh to convert the three-dimensional surface mesh into a three-dimensional surface dynamic model.
[0061] The structural sub-model is used to maintain the original distance between vertices and simulate the tensile stiffness of the tissue; the bending sub-model is used to resist the angle change between adjacent triangular facets and reflect the bending characteristics of the tissue; the dissipative sub-model simulates the viscoelastic behavior of the tissue, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0062] (1) Build a structural sub-model between adjacent vertices of the three-dimensional surface mesh.
[0063] Assume that the original length of the edge between two vertices i and j in the structural submodel is , the original length is the length of the line connecting the two vertices in the natural state; the actual length between the two vertices i and j is , the actual length is the length of the line connecting the two vertices when under stress, so the resistance F output by the structural sub-model is ij for:
[0064] ;
[0065] Resistance F output by the structural sub-model ij It reflects the mechanical response of tissues to pressure. P is the compressive coefficient, which reflects the ability of the tissue to resist deformation under pressure; i 、P j Represents the coordinate vectors of two vertices i and j in space.
[0066] (2) Construct a curved sub-model between two non-shared vertices of two adjacent triangular facets in a three-dimensional surface mesh.
[0067] Suppose two adjacent triangles (i,j,m) and The initial angle between the two faces of (i, j, n) is , the actual angle after the current bending force is , then the bending sub-model between the two unshared vertices m and n will bend moment Converted into equivalent pulling force :
[0068] ;
[0069] The curvature coefficient controls the curvature of the 3D surface mesh.
[0070] (3) In parallel with the structural sub-model, a dissipation sub-model is added to the same vertex pair i and j of each structural sub-model. The dissipation force output by the dissipation sub-model is Proportional to the vertex relative velocity:
[0071] ;
[0072] in, is the relative velocity between vertices i and j, is the velocity of vertex i, is the velocity of vertex j, c d is the dissipation coefficient, which is used to simulate the tissue viscous resistance.
[0073] (4) Construct the dynamic response model of each vertex as follows:
[0074] ;
[0075] Where: NA(i) is the set of vertices connected to vertex i through the structural sub-model; NB(i) is the set of vertices connected to vertex i through the bending sub-model; ND(i) is the set of vertices connected to vertex i through the dissipative sub-model; F ei is the external load on the soft tissue, m i is the mass of vertex i.
[0076] By combining the equations of all vertices, we can obtain a three-dimensional surface dynamic model with vertex displacement, velocity, and acceleration as unknown quantities. The three-dimensional surface dynamic model is expressed in matrix form as follows:
[0077] ;
[0078] Where M is a diagonal matrix with m diagonal elements. i ,K is the force matrix, which is constructed by the resistance and equivalent force output by the structure and bending sub-models. C is constructed by the dissipation force and the dissipation coefficient. P is the position vector array of all vertices. F e is the external load array.
[0079] S3. Simulate the deformation properties of the surface vertices of a three-dimensional surface dynamic model when subjected to force.
[0080] Simulate the stress conditions of three-dimensional surface dynamic models and calculate the deformation properties of surface vertices when subjected to stress.
[0081] Let the position vector of vertex i at the previous time step be , the position vector of vertex i at the current time step is , speed is V i .
[0082] Construct the surface equation f(x,y,z)=ax+by+cz+d of the three-dimensional surface dynamic model.
[0083] Among them, (x, y, z) are the surface vertex coordinates of the three-dimensional surface dynamic model, (a, b, c) are the surface normal vector component parameters, the distance constant term is d, and the normal vector component determines the orientation of the contact surface in space. For example, when the normal vector component parameter is (1, 0, 0), the contact surface is perpendicular to the x-axis direction.
[0084] Calculate the minimum and maximum values of the collision body on the three-dimensional coordinate axis (i.e. x min ,x max ,y min ,y max ,z min ,z max ), and get the range of the collision body based on these coordinates.
[0085] The grid cells of the collision surface of the collider are marked as active grids, all active grids are traversed, and the vertices in the active grids are collected to form a candidate set R.
[0086] For each candidate vertex r∈R, perform the following operations:
[0087] Substitute the position vector of each candidate vertex r into the surface equation and output the function value:
[0088] Output the position vector of the candidate vertex r at the previous moment The function value f old =f( );
[0089] Output candidate vertex r current position vector The function value f new =f( );
[0090] Determine whether the candidate vertex r is on the surface or inside the three-dimensional surface dynamic model:
[0091] If f old ≥0 and f new <0, the candidate vertex r is considered as a collision point, that is, the vertex enters the interior from the surface.
[0092] like , considered as close to the surface, the candidate vertex r is considered as a potential collision point, is the distance threshold.
[0093] The detected collision points and potential collision points constitute the collision area. For the three-dimensional surface dynamic model, the surface points located in the collision area before the collision are set as deformation points, and the deformation properties of the deformation points after being subjected to force are calculated.
[0094] The deformation properties of multiple deformation points after being subjected to force constitute the theoretical deformation property cloud map.
[0095] S4. Measure the deformation properties of the soft tissue under test when it is subjected to stress, and compare the deformation properties of the soft tissue under test when it is subjected to stress with the theoretical deformation properties of the three-dimensional surface dynamic model under stress to evaluate the support force recovery of the soft tissue under test.
[0096] MRI elastic imaging technology is used to non-invasively detect internal deformation of soft tissue and simultaneously collect mechanical data.
[0097] For soft tissue, the excitation frequency is set to match the shear wave propagation characteristics of soft tissue, preferably 100-300 Hz. According to the thickness of the soft tissue, the encoding gradient intensity and duration are adjusted so that the shear wave covers the entire tissue layer and clearly captures the shear deformation transmission between soft tissues.
[0098] When MRI acquires echo signals, shear waves propagate after soft tissue is stressed, causing tissue particles to displace, destroying the original phase consistency of the proton group. Phase changes are converted into displacement field data of pixel-level displacement vector distribution through phase difference algorithms such as complex autocorrelation analysis; then, through the strain calculation module based on displacement field gradient operation, strain fields of shear strain and normal strain distribution are generated to quantify the spatial differences in internal deformation between damaged and healthy areas; and the corresponding data of tissue deformation are recorded simultaneously, preferably recording the deformation depth-time change curve, such as Figure 4 As shown, the deformation depth h-time t change curves of the three deformation points after the pressure is released are exemplarily shown, where h is a normalized value.
[0099] The collected mechanical data and deformation data are imported into DIC analysis software to extract deformation properties. Preferably, the deformation properties include the deformation depth distribution at each point, the gradient of deformation direction change, and the change of deformation recovery rate in different time dimensions. Finally, a visual cloud map of the deformation properties of the soft tissue to be tested is generated to intuitively present the deformation characteristics of the soft tissue.
[0100] The deformation property cloud map of the soft tissue to be tested is compared with the theoretical deformation property cloud map of the three-dimensional surface dynamic model in the collision area to intuitively present the difference in deformation properties between the two and locate the abnormal support force parts. In practical applications, the location of abnormal support force parts mainly includes: the coordinated deformation of healthy tissue in the model, the abrupt strain in the soft tissue damage repair area to be tested, and the prompt that the support force in this area has not been fully restored, thereby realizing the evaluation of the recovery degree of soft tissue support force and problem identification.
